Its moisture content results in effective insulting capacity. During the 2nd World War, nettle fabric was used to line the jackets of the soilders so that they could be insulated from cold.

In Sittong village of Kurseong, West Bengal. Two families, are hand spinning this yarn, and some small quantities are being woven in the Doers area. They are trying to develop the yarn domestically for the Indian and global market.
